This book explores the idea that self-knowledge comes in many
varieties. We "know ourselves" through many different methods,
depending on whether we attend to our propositional attitudes, our
perceptions, sensations or emotions. Furthermore, sometimes what we
call "self-knowledge" is not the result of any substantial
cognitive achievement and the characteristic authority we grant to
our psychological self-ascription is a conceptual necessity,
redeemed by unravelling the structure of several interlocking
concepts. This book critically assesses the main contemporary
positions held on the epistemology of self-knowledge. These include
robust epistemic accounts such as inner sense views and
theory-theories; weak epistemic accounts such as transparency
theories and rational internalism and externalism; as well as
expressivist and constitutivist approaches. The author offers an
innovative "pluralist" position on self-knowledge, emphasizing the
complexity of the phenomenon and its resistance to any "monistic"
treatment, to pose new and intriguing philosophical challenges.
